What was repaired?

The button was falling off of the shirt. Quite literally clinging on by a thread!

How was it repaired?

I used some blue cotton and the existing button to sew it back onto the shirt.

Why was it repaired?

I love this shirt and have never been able to find one similar. It was bought vintage.

Why is repair important?

I think simple things like a lost button are so easy to fix, and it really adds to the personality of the item. When I wear what looks like 'just a shirt' to other people, I know it's got a part of my determination for it to survive.
